Poor girls, , why!
it's true, avex CDs are so expensive and they release at least 3 versions of sinlge

[Polyrhythm]

Well, I suppose there's more than enough 48 to go around atm.....so the big labels are collecting as many as they can....

[bondingo]

I fail to see the problem with them signing to avex. If anything, it seems like good news to me because the albums will hopefully have all their PVs off it, just like most avex artists, unlike the crap DVDs we've got with AKB and Watarirouka Hashiritai's album/s.

But SKE has been releasing 3 editions of their singles ever since debut ._.

[dreamland2.0]

^Yah and their CD singles and albums cost the same amount as every other artist

Yay for the record!! Way to go girls!

愛にピアス (Ai ni Pierce) / 板野友美 (Itano Tomomi) this song is better than "Dear J" and "Wanna be now"!

[lollipop sophie]

damn they broke the record congrats to the girls
There hard work paid off ( like really o_O)

edit: I almost forgot about akb's new album... I wonder if they're gonna break any records with this..............possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bondingo]

INCREDIBLE! AKB are totally reviving the Japanese music industry. I cannot WAIT to see how well the album sells. I hope it sets another record.

[dreamland2.0]

OMG Kore Kara Wonderland is actually so amazing :OOOOO And the PV!!!!!! :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I love this single so much it's so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7932NGYFUENBU3782N!#%^@^&@(

[Polyrhythm]

Kore Kara Wonderland is the best. For real. I can see why it's not A-side material, but it's still amazing. My favorite track. Everyday is growing on me too.....Ponytail is still better. Even Chance no Junban is growing on me (and that's OLD). The only song I still cant get into is Sakura no Ki ni Narou. I guess their other ballads are just so much better than that.

[bondingo]

^ CnJ still has to grow on me too. I love Sakura no Ki ni Narou though; it's gorgeous. I also prefer Everyday to Ponyshu by quite a bit, but I love both songs. Everyday is still the only song I've heard from the new single though, so I need to get on the other ones.

Also, I ordered AKB ga Ippai on Blu-Ray! I'm DYING for it to arrive, though it won't until, like, the beginning of July I wish they had put the PVs from Everyday on it, but I understand why they didn't. I don't know if I ever want to buy another single though since, based on Nogashita Sakanatachi and AKB ga Ippai, it seems that they're just going to keep releasing music video compilations that would ultimately be cheaper than buying all the CD+DVD singles anyways.

[Amrai-chan]

^ I'm debating if I should get it on Blu Ray or DVD lol

MY COPY OF KACHUUSHA AND MY DiVA SINGLES STILL AREN'T HERE. Maybe because it's a holiday today. I hope they come tomorrow.

[Mami-chan]

Ok, finally I'm getting into AKB too~

In the beginning I kind of hated them 'cause they're not real singers, 'cause they lipsynch, 'cause they're too many and couldn't understand why they're so popular..
Then I fell in love with Mariko and Tomochin *_* and I understood the reason of their popularity that's both the fact that they're just the group of the moment (like others have been before them) and the fact that they're so many ('cause of coourse 48 people together can gain more fans than 5 XD). Moreover they're idols, not singers, exactly like my beloved Arashi are, so it's obvious they're not all great singers ^^; Plus they're cute and some of their songs are really good! And I love their dresses and coreography ^^
To be honest I was also a bit angry 'cause they're "stealing" all the #1 to my favourites, Arashi. But can't help it.. (.__.)

Well, all of this to say I'm getting into AKB now XD and I'm waiting for a dvd from a friend who collected for me some of their stage plays *_*

[PEARL]

i got to see the girls (16 of them) on the 29th when they were here for their 2nd stage!! omg they are real sweet and gorgeous in real life!! & i got to shake hands with them!!!!
dream come true!!!!!!!!!!

and when they were going up the van after the live.. chiyuu kept waving at me and i kept waving back!!! sayaka is a gorgeous bohemian princess <3
AKB48 <3
